Welcome!

The rules are few: Use 99% fresh ingredients (or thereabouts); make the dish simple but flavorful; make the dish flavorful but simple; be creative, not silly.

With this blog, I want to share new recipes, along with tips on ingredients and preparation, and, hopefully, show new cooks (and non-cooks) the pleasure in setting the table with a delicious homemade meal. The Briny Lemon is about fresh, simple, flavorful ingredients and easy cooking methods that help you bring the best to your family table. Your comments are welcome!

Easy Egg Salad Ciabatta Rolls

Egg salad
makes a quick and flavorful brunch, lunch, or dinner. You can enjoy it all by
itself with a cracker or two, but piling it on crusty rolls turns a tasty salad
into a hearty sandwich—and it couldn’t be easier to make.

Here, I
sliced a ciabatta loaf into sandwich pieces and hollowed out the centers simply
to make room for more filling and less bread. If you prefer, use your favorite
sandwich bread and enjoy.

Serves 4

Ingredients

8 large
hard-boiled eggs, cooled

1/4 cup
light mayonnaise

1/4 cup
sour cream

2 tbsp
finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

1 tbsp
finely chopped shallot

2 tsp Dijon
mustard

1 tsp fresh
lemon juice

1/8 tsp
celery seed

sea salt

freshly
ground black pepper

8 4-inch
pieces ciabatta (tops and bottoms), centers hollowed out

thin tomato
slices and baby spinach, for serving

Preparation

Peel the
eggs and place in a bowl. Use a fork to coarsely break them up, mashing
slightly.

Coarsely Chopped Eggs

In another
bowl, combine the mayonnaise and next 6 ingredients (through celery seed) and
season with salt and pepper.

Add the
eggs and mix well, mashing with a fork to a chunky smooth consistency.

Divide the
egg salad on the bottoms of the bread pieces and top with tomato slices and
spinach leaves.
